My application.cfc not compiling. I'm using application.cfc first time, i'm used to using application.cfm, but now trying to switch.

I've attached the code. Application.cfc is not being executed for some reason.

My environment:
win2008
cf8
iis7

Thank you,
Syed

    The BEST way to avoid problems, is to use an example already tried and tested and adapt to your needs:

    I have a similar situation,, in that only the first application variable is recognized.

    <cffunction name="onApplicationStart" output="false" returnType="void">
    <!--- any variables set here can be used by all pages --->
    <cfset Application.dsn = "MyCorp">
    <cfset Application.Company = "JB Design">
    </cffunction>

    the dsn is recognized and the company throws error," the element company is undefined in Application"

    any ideas

    TIA

    What makes you say it's not being executed?


    > <cfparam name="session.role_id" default="">
    > <cfparam name="session.username" default="">

    You should be setting these in onSessionStart(), not onApplicationStart(),
    btw.

    Adam,
    application.cfc is not listed in Execution file list like application.cfm. Non of the application or session variables are being created.

    I'll move the param values to onSessionStart(), thanks for the suggestion.
